fahinfo.org is a database of collected Folding@Home project scores. The scores are submitted along with details about the CPU on which they were run. This information will show which workunits are best (and worst) for specific CPUs, and also highlight the differences between the different cores on the same CPU type. The more data collected and added the better, as this will serve to make the PPD/GHz values more accurate. You can lookup the work-unit (by project number) you are currently running to see how well it could or should be doing on your particular CPU, I might even make it recommend the CPU that you should be using for that WU. This site was written by and is maintained by me, Uncle_Fungus, and has been hand-coded from scratch in PHP and MySQL.

Yes you guessed it, I forked out for some proper hosting and a real domain name. Took me 15 minutes to set up. At least it means I won't be killing my broadband bandwidth with port 80 requests now!
Still in phpMyAdmin I'm afraid.

Yes I know its not that long since I discovered the problem, but at least I found out why and how to fix it. It was IE's CSS inconsitency again, luckily I have a separate CSS that kicks in on IE so I don't have to break the style in Firefox to fix the problems in IE.

It appears that something I have changed recently causes Internet Explorer (6) to crash, quite literally. It causes an error in mshtml.dll, which is not good. As far as I know there is nothing syntactically wrong with any of the code, and I've fixed the stupid p-tiny error so the submitter and date are how they are supposed to be now.
On the plus side when you submit a score it now goes into a new table in preparation for when I write the average calculation code, it means it will only re-calculate for scores that have been updated. Not relevant yet since none of the code exists yet anyway, but you can see the result when you look at the 'All Scores' page, there are now two tables, 'Today' and 'archived'. The average scores will be generated from these two tables (hopefully).
I am quite proud of crashing IE, shows how unstable it is!!
Once again this post was brought to you through the use of phpMyAdmin as I still haven't written an article submission page yet...oh well.

After a lot of fiddling around with javascript and some PHP variable handling I've finally got the Submit Score function to allow you to use a frame time or PPD. The boxes change according to whichever one you select. The code automatically works out what the PPD is if you enter the frame time from the number of frames in the WU and the points awarded. You might notice a difference in the PPD/GHz scores between PPD and Frame time entries, this is due to the precision of the frame time calculation being higher which affects the rounding of numbers.
I am starting work on a login feature, which will hopefully make things a bit easier later on.
Pages I haven't written yet link back to this page.

Sorry its a bit of an over-used title but it is alive. I've finally written some news article displaying code so here it is. It's not very good at the moment but i'm still working on it. I still have to actually write the articles in phpMyAdmin, so you can see how far I've still got to go. I've also noticed a problem (cosmetic) related to Internet Explorer's non-support of CSS2. The submitter name and date appear in the same font as this text. They should be red and much smaller. But that's why you should use a proper browser.
